This past summer I went to my grandma's house in Valdosta. Everytime I go there I see all my brothers,my sister,and my cousins.Well this summer would be one of my worst but also fun summers yet! It started out like every summer, taking the 3 hour road trip to Valdosta. I was the 2nd one to arrive at my grandma's house,as always. When I got there, my older brother had already taken control of the tv.Right after I arrived my older cousin walked in. We where around the ages of 12 and 13. We all look at each other and was thinking we are in for 2 weeks of ....well let's get back to the story. Im only going to tell you about the first day. The first move I made I did not know that would one of my worst! That night at dinner grandma asked, '' What do ya'll want to eat?'' My brother and cousin said ''chicken!'' I said ''Breakfast!'' So.... we had breakfast and they were not happy.
My grandma leaves for work at 5 in the morning and comes back at 6 in the afternoon. Sometimes she comes back at 12 for lunch. I was awakened too early to the song "Pretty Boy Swagg!" My brother and cousin were offering me pancakes (one of my favorites). When I went to the door, I heard laughter and I saw shadows. I look under the door, and I saw a trap of all the leftover breakfast. It was all nasty looking, so I opened the door and stepped over it. That's when they attacked me.They told me how every since I came grandma only cared for me; I was hurt because that was only my 2nd year being able to go over there. I called my dad and he said "baby girl I'll get off work at 5 p.m. and I'll come right over." I said "Okay daddy." I had this whole conversation in the bathroom aka "the safe."
The bathroom was on the addition part of the house, and the house is really old. I walked out and go to the door to get to the rest of the house....IT WAS LOCKED! The only way back inside was to go through the backyard.In the backyard was a big black dog that did not know me,because I was new, but the dog knew my brother and cousin. Now I'm screaming,yelling and banging on the door!.They came to the door and just laughed at me. I knew my cousin kind of didn't like me because I took one of his wing men and turned him soft. See... the first year I went to my grandma's it was just me and my brother, and we got along well. Still, I was out there for a good 30 minutes and I was about to go through the backyard. Then my brother open the door and said " hurry up." I ran back to my grandma room and locked the door. I dropped my phone and my cousin picked it up and was going throw it in water. I was crying again.Just then my grandma called home, and I answered first. Since she had 3 phones, 1 in her room ,1 in the guest room and a wall one in the kitchen.We all picked up the phone and started telling grandma different stories. When we got off the phone with grandma, my daddy called my cell phone. I got my phone from my cousin and my daddy told me a plan. I followed the plan and that's when I locked both of them out the house.Then the backdoor was opened, and my brother comes through, so I ran back and quickly locked it, so my cousin was still out there. Now my brother and I are playing, but I made a mistake and punched him in the face.That's when he came at me like a football player.
Next, we heard my cousin scream. Our daddy had pulled up on his motorcycle. My daddy came, in drunk some kool aid, and then chased my cousim around the block. My brother was looking for a place to hide. I helped him. My daddy walked in and he said " hey baby girl where is your brother?" and I told him. My brother and dad went at it while my cousin came from behind and had me in a head lock. My daddy came in and said "you can get him!" I kicked him in his "area" and he fell down. I hear my grandma and all four of us where like "Oh no!" We needed to clean. My grandma came in and said "what ya'll kids doing?" We all said "just having fun." My daddy told my grandma that he would take me to Andys(which is a wing and chittlin's place in the bad part of valdosta,where my grandma lived). I got my favorite that night. I knew the owner because he lived right down the street from my house. I knew the son and the friends because they where my friends too! I walked in and his son had a crush in me.My daddy kind of flipped out when he was looking at me, so we left quickly.
I came back home. My grandma had left, and the two boys were eating t.v. dinners. We were all lookinng at each other, and after they finished eating, they turned to WWE smackdown. I finished eating after them and got up and went in the living room and turned to vh1(flavor flav). Then my cousin threw a pillow at me. My brother said "chill". I came over and hit my cousin. He hit me and tripped me. Once again my brother said "chill". My cousin did not listen he said mean things to me. Then my brother came and pounded him in the face and he said "chill." Then my grandma came in looked at him and said "let's go you going home in the morning." That night he packed and his mommy came over and got him. My cousin said bye to my brother, but not me.That same day my dad came back and my brother and I went to his house with my 2 other little brothers (9,4), my step brother(8),little sister(3) and the baby(few months). I went shopping with my step mom at the mall. We came back and had a bbq.Then a week later my cousin and his older brother came back.His older brother loves me ,and he was 14 years old. My grandma did not leave me home alone with them alot because I was the only girl. My cousin and I did get back into it, but thats a long story. Lets just say uhmmm... I got in a little trouble for hurting someones "area"and other places for messing with and taking my stuff a little too much!
